Women and Child Rights - Notes, Case Laws & Study Material

Women and Child rights play a significant role in the development of human rights. Sustainable human development means expanding people's choices and creating the conditions for equality so that they may realize their full potential. This goal cannot be achieved if all human rights — economic, social, cultural, civil, and political — are not promoted, preserved, and defended.

Our 3-part course tries to cover this vast topic of law with the utmost potential and extensive syllabus that is necessary. The first two modules take a look at several issues concerning gender inequality. From workplace harassment to surrogacy laws, you will find all the relevant notes, articles, and cases here. The third module covers the organisational framework present in India to safeguard women's and child rights.
